Scope suggestions needed

[2A2Dend]

For a Henry 357. I was thinking 4x would be plenty? I'm not sure.

Depending on what your intended use is.. sure.

Consider a illuminated dot or reticle on the 4x.... or a red dot. Far quicker on target for critters.

Frankly, a 2-7x is a favorite for .22LR and similar trajectories.

Why not a 1-6 or a 1-8? 1 power is awesome for two eyed, fast target acquisition.

Fixed power or red dot. Either or, the lighter the better. That gun is already heavy.

How far you planning to shoot?

I'm a big fan of reddots on pistol caliber rifles and bush gun's, I have no problem shooting to 150 yrds with my .44 mag rifle with an Aimpoint sight.

Thanks for the responses.

I have a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8, and a Swampfox 1-10, (<<-----Heavy, Bulky) and the option of a red dot.
Distance, I don't know. 150yds or so?
I was thinking something reliable, but simplistic.
No real need for having adjustable turrets like the above mentioned.
I also have a Redfield 70E-T Peep, but would need the receiver drilled for it. I'm not sure about going that route.

150 yards with a red dot is very much within its capability.



Leupold makes an extremely lightweight fixed power scope. That would be my other recommendation.

I have a Leupold VX-R 2-7x33, I remembered I bought about 5 years ago.
I used it for a short time on an AR build, then bought an Aimpoint.
It's a little "large" in tube size.

I thought I was the only one who shot an encore!
